An AGV control system with multiple host frameworks, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, includes one or more jurisdictional traffic control hosts configured for different traffic control areas, one or more task allocation hosts configured for different task work areas, and a call processing host and jurisdictional display device.
The system comprises an AGV (automatic guided vehicle) working area, an jurisdictional traffic control host and an jurisdictional traffic control host, wherein the jurisdictional traffic control host is used for carrying out traffic control on an AGV (automatic guided vehicle) executing working tasks in the jurisdictional traffic control area, and one or more jurisdictional traffic control hosts are arranged in the whole working area of the AGV and used for establishing traffic control order in the working area of the AGV.
Traffic control refers to the control of AGVs in crossroads, path merge aisles, public bi-directional aisles and other controlled areas where the AGVs are controlled to prevent collisions. Traffic control areas refer to areas where AGVs are at crossroads, path merge aisles, public bi-directional aisles, and other areas where only designated AGVs are permitted to pass. Within the dashed circle of fig. 3 are various traffic control zones. By traffic control jurisdiction is meant a collection of traffic control areas. The whole AGV working area can be divided into a plurality of traffic control jurisdictions by taking the traffic control district number as a reference. The district constituted by the traffic control district numbers can be a plurality of traffic control districts in administrative areas or a plurality of traffic control districts under network coverage areas. And a plurality of district traffic control hosts can be set up in the whole AGV working area. The district traffic control host software can be installed in different hosts and controllers. In order to solve the intersection problem of jurisdictional division, so that the traffic control hosts in multiple jurisdictions can work normally, it is necessary to set the number of the jurisdictional traffic control region for each traffic control host in the jurisdiction. Each jurisdictional traffic control host contains several traffic control zone numbers and these numbers cannot be reused within different jurisdictional traffic control hosts. By arranging the number of the traffic control area in the district traffic control host, the district management authority of the traffic control area with the number can be changed.
The district traffic control host computer has the highest command to the AGVs of fixed path work in this district and the AGVs of this district of way, and all AGVs that are in this district, unconditionally obeys this module and travel and stop the command, that is to say this district traffic control host computer can carry out traffic control to the AGVs of different work tasks in this district. After the AGV leaves a certain jurisdiction, the jurisdiction traffic control host will terminate the management of the AGV, and the traffic control of the AGV will be controlled by the new jurisdiction traffic control host.
The district traffic control host can independently operate in the system, and if no task is needed for the network, the network is allowed to not cover the whole working area, so that the input cost of the system can be effectively reduced.
The district traffic control host computer only needs to configure the AGV number to be controlled, the district number of the traffic control district to be controlled or the corresponding working station constituting the district number at the relevant setting interface. And the traffic control hosts in the multiple jurisdictions jointly complete the traffic control task of the whole AGV system.
The district display device is connected with the district traffic control host computer and displays the work information of the AGVs in the district and the real-time position map of the AGVs. The working information includes site information, whether tasks exist, working speed, whether working is normal, whether faults exist, whether the connection is lost from the district, and the like. The real-time position of the AGV is the relative position of the jurisdiction in which the AGV is located. After collecting the information, the district display device can be displayed on a system screen and can report to an external interface module for external system data docking.
The task allocation host is connected with the call processing host and an external production management system (MES, ERP, SAP and the like) and is used for decomposing task information of the call processing host and the external production management system and is responsible for allocating tasks to the managed AGVs.
The task work area refers to one or more AGV work areas divided according to administrative areas, AGV work paths, task types, and the like in the whole work area of the AGV. This region may be the same as or different from the jurisdictional traffic control region. A plurality of task work areas are arranged in the whole AGV work system, a task allocation host is arranged in each work area, and one or more call processing hosts correspond to the task allocation host. The task allocation host comprises a task library module, a task trigger condition module and the like. The task library module is mainly responsible for configuring and storing a plurality of working paths executed by the AGV in a manual input mode before the system is used, and numbering different paths. The working path in the task library module can be added or subtracted according to the actual working condition in the using process of the system. The task triggering condition module receives a task instruction of the call processing host, and forms queuing information of a task to be executed through logic analysis of instruction information and setting of call information priority. And triggering preset task library module data by the task triggering condition module, wherein each piece of call task information and a task path in the task library module form a corresponding relation. The task triggering condition module is used as a core of a task distribution host, and has the function of forming a unique corresponding relation result by carrying out multi-factor logic operation and obtaining the call task information and the task path in the task library module according to the field process requirement, or forming a unique corresponding relation by manually setting the designated call task information and the task path in the task library module. And the task triggering condition module is used for triggering the task library task, and the task allocation host computer is used for calling the AGV at a proper position and executing the serial number task. The task is successfully queued, the task starts to be executed, and the task is completed to be executed, and information is sent to the related party. Related parties include, but are not limited to, calling parties, delivery parties, external systems, display modules, and the like.
The task allocation host assigns the number of the AGVs working in the area to each task working area, and the AGVs with one number only work in one task working area. If the working area of the AGV needs to be changed, the number of the AGV can be changed inside the task allocation host.
The call processing host distributes task call points in the task work area and is connected with each caller, receives the call task and transmits the call task to the task allocation host.
The call processing host includes a stock calling, a feeding calling and other call processing. The caller is classified into a stock call and a feed call. A stock calling refers to a point where a call is made, and stock needs to be sent to the calling point from a certain place, and the calling information can be a single task or a multi-task chain. Feeding calls refer to the point where a call is made, and materials need to be sent to a place from the home location, and the call information can be a single task or a multi-task chain. Call information originating from higher level systems such as MES, ERP, etc. systems is also included. One or more calling terminals are set up into one or more calling groups according to administrative areas or material requirement types, and each calling group corresponds to one calling processing host. The caller comprises all switches and data interaction devices such as buttons, sensors, PDAs, code scanning guns and the like. After receiving the call information, the call processing host classifies and sorts the call information, and performs data information interaction with the corresponding task allocation host in the system to inform the system that the task has occurred. One or more call processing hosts, corresponding to a task allocation host.
Each host in the system can be increased or decreased according to the actual field state, and can also independently operate to form a control system of the AGV in the whole area.
The invention provides an AGV control system realizing method of a multi-host framework based on the AGV control system of the multi-host framework, which comprises the following steps:
and step 1, numbering each type of AGVs working in the whole area.
In the step, various AGVs are allowed to work in the system, wherein the AGVs comprise various AGVs with the navigation modes of magnetic navigation, two-dimensional code navigation, laser navigation, satellite navigation and the like, and the AGVs comprise AGVs with the carrying modes of latent traction, knapsack, forklift, roller knapsack and the like. All AGVs have unique numbers in the system, one number representing each AGV. This number is typically set in the AGV on-board system. When the AGVs are damaged in the system, a quick method is to throw one AGV with the same type and carrying function, the number is set to be the number of the AGV which is just damaged on the vehicle-mounted system, and the damaged AGVs can be replaced by the newly added AGVs to throw work.
And 2, arranging the working path and the working station of the AGV in the whole area.
In this step, the AGV working path and site position are constructed according to the actual AGV working area and working task. If the magnetic navigation AGV exists in the system, a magnetic stripe is paved on the relevant path to form a working path of the AGV, and an RFID card is placed at the relevant position to form an AGV working station. If two-dimensional code navigation AGVs exist in the system, two-dimensional codes need to be pasted in relevant areas, a plurality of two-dimensional codes form AGV working code arrays, the series connection of the relevant code arrays forms an AGV working path, and the code arrays are working sites of the AGVs at the same time. If the system is internally provided with the laser navigation AGV, the AGV is required to pass through the scanning environment to generate a virtual navigation path, and a station is planned on the path to form an AGV working station. The AGVs of different navigation modes can work under the same system, and the AGVs of different navigation modes need to construct non-repeated AGV working site numbers. Each nominal work station is uniquely numbered throughout the AGV work area.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the whole working area of the AGV is a factory, 4 workshops are provided in the factory, and the 4 task allocation hosts are divided according to administrative areas of the workshops, 7 working paths are established according to production conditions of the workshops, and the three workshops are divided into three jurisdiction traffic control hosts according to convenience in management of traffic control.
According to the working paths laid by the magnetic stripe for planning, 7 paths are laid in fig. 2, and are named as working paths 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, respectively.
According to the working beat requirement, a certain number of AGVs are thrown into a working area to participate in the working of the whole area, each AGV is unique in number and not repeated, and the working area of each AGV is designated in a task allocation host.

And 3, setting traffic control zone numbers for the intersection points and the parallel line points of the working paths in the whole working area of the AGV, and dividing one or more district traffic control areas in the whole working area of the AGV according to the numbers.
In the step, traffic control area numbers are set in the intersection area and the parallel line area of the working path in the whole area, wherein the traffic control area numbers comprise cross intersection areas, parallel line areas and the like in the running process of various AGVs, and the numbers are unique for each intersection area and parallel line area needing to be controlled. These numbers are different from the step 2 site numbers, which represent traffic control zones. When different AGVs run in the system, the station positions are reported when the station positions are reached, and the host system implements traffic control, task allocation and information display according to the position information.
In this embodiment, 19 traffic control zones are established in the overall AGV system according to the intersection zone and the parallel zone. According to the convenience of traffic control, the system is divided into three district traffic control hosts. The areas with the numbers of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are set as a traffic control district 1, and the traffic control district comprises an AGV working path 1, an AGV working path 2 and a partial path of the AGV working path 7; setting up traffic control jurisdiction 2 with numbers 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, including partial paths of AGV working path 3, AGV working path 5, and AGV working path 7 and AGV working path 4; the traffic control jurisdiction 3 is set up with numbers 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, including the AGV working path 6, and partial paths of the AGV working path 7 and the AGV working path 4. The district numbers of the traffic control areas can be arranged in a district traffic control software module to form a new district traffic control host by increasing or decreasing the traffic control areas. AGVs working on different paths only receive the control of the traffic control host in the current jurisdiction in the working process. AGVs of different numbers can work across paths, but only perform this regional task. Assume an AGV number 7 performs the task of work path 7. During the execution of the task of the working path 7, the AGV runs from left to right, and respectively goes through the traffic control areas 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 5, 4, 3, and respectively accepts traffic control by the jurisdictional traffic control host 3, the jurisdictional traffic control host 2, and the jurisdictional traffic control host 1. Upon leaving the jurisdictional traffic control zone, the jurisdictional traffic control host loses control over the AGV.
